Request a Ticket Donation for your Fundraiser – To request a donation of daytime zoo tickets for your nonprofit organization’s fundraiser, you must complete this online request form. We recommend a two month notice on requests. As a Zoo, focused on conservation and environmental education programming, we restrict our giving to 501 C 3 organizations that primarily assist in animal welfare.  We do consider institutions that directly improve the welfare of children in need and/or enhance environmental education for young people.  We do not give to public, private or charter school auctions or other activities, parent associations, sports programs, health institutions, health charities or any for profit companies.
